Lexington High School

Great school put the bus situation is unacceptable. How could they possibly plan so poorly as to have 3 kids to a seat on buses, then STILL have kids having to ride standing up and kids on the bus for over an hour and 1/2. Quality? I think not.

This is one of the best, if not the best, public school in the state at preparing students for college. The very first day that I set foot on the campus of a major, academically recognized and respected, 4 year university, I felt right at home. Lexington prepared me well, and far better than my new peers.

As a graduate of Lexington High School, I can say with confidence that I feel more prepared than many of my other friends in college. Now that I'm attending the University of South Carolina, I'm especially thankful for the wonderful education and preparation I got from Lexington High.

As a grandparent visiting the Lexington schools and also as a retired teacher from Ohio, I have been very, very pleased with the programs and atmosphere.

We moved here from Georgia last year and I do not like Lexington High school! It is way over rated! My son has no time for anything but homework. This weekend he had 10 pages of science! unbelievable! I really want to move back to Georgia it is more layed back and people enjoy life more!!!!!!

I think that while Lexington has some great qualities, and I'm glad to have attended, there is much improvement to be done. On a state level, we are wonderful, but compared to the rest of the nation, we fall way behind the curve. As an honors and AP student, I was encouraged by guidance counselors to not apply at out-of-state schools. A shift in focus from being the best in the state to being able to compete nationally would do wonders for the school, because the students are certainly capable, if given the right leadership.

This is definitely a quality school if you are serious about academics. My son has taken CP classes throughout his four years and maybe a couple of honors courses, and he will be graduating this year. There is no doubt in my mind he is ready for college. He has also played baseball all four years and will be ready to play at the college level as well. Lexington not only prepares college bound children but also has a wonderful Vocational Center for those who intend to find jobs out of high school. LHS is serious about their academics/athletics from my experience and I am very satisfiled with the education and social life my son has expeerienced.
